They're growing up really fast, aren't they?
We have had a wonderful day. Which we needed. Violet went pee twice of her own volition without being wet- which is HUGE. She played well at the park and made friends. She shared her new sand toys with everyone. Look: she loves her sister and has been gentle and wonderful to her all day. She took a nap. We needed a smooth day, and Monday of a 3 day weekend was a good day for it. Bring on the week!
I have had a very frustrating sort of day. Nothing important: a long wait figuring out appointments over the phone with kaiser, pictures didn't upload right, V upset her humidifier all over the floor. After quiet time I promised Violet that we'd go down and ride bikes- despite me snapping at her all day, she's been so good! But then, her bike broke. If you know a 3 y/o you know this should have caused a cataclysmic tantrum. But V? Nope. When I suggested we ride scooters instead, she stoically walked her bike back home and got her scooter. Thank you, Violet. I am so grateful for a tantrum avoided. And notice her outfit, while you're at it. Another tantrum... avoided.

Trying to figure out how to post a picture/blog post straight from my phone. Here is a picture of a real Daphne smile to enjoy. She has succeeded in making us do very foolish things to coax one of her gorgeous feel-good inducing smiles!
